Zelya Energy

With our experience in financial valuation and business plan development for the development and acquisition of solar power plants and photovoltaic projects, we have developed methods and tools for evaluation and modeling specific to this sector.

Business plan and financial models for evaluating photovoltaic power plants

Our experts, specializing in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), project finance, and private equity, assist you with:

  • Accurate evaluation of the generated cash flows: electricity purchase tariffs and market prices, connection costs to the electricity network, local taxation, etc. ;
  • Financial modeling and determination of investment profitability (base scenario, WACC) ;
  • Discussion of the terms of funding your acquisition (debt, equity; investment conditions).

Our services and assistance have been designed to provide expert and tailored support to all stakeholders involved in project transactions, parks or photovoltaic portfolios.

Support Plan and Contents

Step 1 - Assistance in defining financial model assumptions

This step first involves collecting and evaluating the coherence and uncertainty of the technical and economic assumptions of the business plan, simulating or generating them from ratios observed in the French photovoltaic market for similar projects, based on regulatory analysis and Zelya Energy's expertise.

Step 2 - Determining a value range for the asset or target company

This step involves proposing a value range for the photovoltaic park depending on its age and the used technology.

Step 3 – Analysis and Recommendations

Finally, we will carry out a critical analysis of the obtained valuation results, comparing them to the transaction amounts observed on similar photovoltaic projects and parks. At what prices are photovoltaic power plants sold, at the time of the analysis, with similar configurations, technologies, or solar resources?
